- 2. Your presenter today Nolwenn Kerzreho • Using & teaching DITA since 2009 • Technical Account Manager for Europe (DITA CMS) • Master’s degree in translation management, terminology, project management and technical writing @IXIASOFT #SEMICONEuropa
- 4. Common Content Challenges • Consistency on all deliveries – easier updates & findability • On-time delivery – faster time to market • Agile collaboration – expertise applied once Is the feature really in this design? Two documents are saying different things. I think there is a defect in this document, I’ll call support. Metadata laden docs (variants, delivery) Unique referential – handling updates Modular and versioned content I already reviewed that information. I don’t want to waste my time!

- 5. What our Customers Say « If your content is modular in nature, then your documentation should be too. Also, updates are much easier. » « Having a single-repository and modular docs means authors and engineers can focus on their area of expertise. » « Using the DITA CMS enabled the discovery of content for legal purposes within hours instead of weeks. »

Editor's Notes
- 70 % using DITA Quite a few are IXIASOFT customers
- Adopting DITA will lead to easier update and single source – your content is consistent throughout channels and product, thus leading to less documentation, defects and support calls – whether you’re designing or manufacturing chips. On-time delivery – if your chips are modular, so should your documentation. The modularity means you can apply updates throughout the applicable components or designs and delivery faster and more efficiently Agile collaboration – again with modular documentation, your content need only be written once and reuse where needed. This means engineers and writers alike can review only once the content and where their expertises are needed.
- Because you are sharing the content in one system, there is increased agility in the content lifecycle. The Systems allow engineers to participate easily in the content and for writers to handle modules and files, reuse content where necessary, and build outputs in a matter of hours. The delivery systems can be portals, PDF. Because the system relies on an open standard, you can rest assured you pick up the new trends, including sharing content with new acquisitions.
- This is an example of the Web platform for adding content/reviewing content for engineers. In this case, the file is stricly open with an HTML-like editor. However the documentation is stored as workable and publishable right away by the tech pubs.
- Our customers are large, global companies in several industries based in Europe and in North America – as we have seen there is a lot of reasons to move to a modular standard for your documentation in the semiconductors.
